Reflective Writing 5

Bohemian Rhapsody:

Bohemian Rhapsody, the film about the lead singer of Queen—Freddie Mercury is

amazing film because it shows the life of Freddie Mercury and how the band Queen become

revolutionary and had some of the most popular songs and performances that are still huge to this

day. I love that the movie led up to after Freddie Mercury left the band to pursue his solo career

and when he reunited with Queen for the Live Aid Concert, it was a touching moment because

that performance went down in rock and roll history. The whole movie really inspired me

because it showed all of the trials that Freddie went through with coming out as bisexual and

then dealing with the emotions that came with that with his wife, his band, fans, and more. Once

he was diagnosed with AIDS everything become more touching in my opinion, he told the band,

but I feel like he humbled up once he was diagnosed. I really enjoyed this because I felt that the

movie really helped portray his life and how his attitude changed throughout his life, I felt that it

was a humbling life lesson because he had many trials and challenges that tested his life skills

but he also had an amazing life with his band members and although he died at the young age of

45 due to AIDS, he still lead a very happy, fun, entertaining, and full life. It’s even more

touching of a movie because you understand the deeper story and meaning behind the band,

Queen and even deeper into Freddie Mercury’s life, I love movies like this because I love

hearing/watching the deeper and more personal trials that people face, especially celebrities

because it shows that we are all human and as much as we believe that celebrities are living these

amazing and flawless lives, it shows how human they really are and how they have trials,

challenges, and setbacks as well.
